Picking up a tree from Chun Hing Garden doubles as a winter getaway to their serene location in Yuen Long. If you can’t make it, though, online order is also an option. These US-sourced trees are available in a wide range of breeds and sizes, and we recommend calling ahead to find out what they still have in stock. Our favourite thing about Chun Hing is that aside from handling delivery and set-up for you, they’ll also pick up your tree for recycling after the festive season. Choose from Noble and Douglas firs (from $800 to $34,600), or the more compact Elf tree ($670).

While many make the trip here for Chinese New Year decorations, it’s also a great place to find a Christmas tree, garland, or wreath. Dress warmly and set aside a few hours to fully appreciate the rows upon rows of flowers at this iconic market.

Located in New Territories, Sophie’s offers Christmas trees of various sizes from Oregon – you can choose from Noble, Douglas, or Fraser varieties. They deliver and set up the trees for a $150 fee for Hong Kong island, Kowlooon, and New Territories, and $175 for Discovery Bay and Tung Chung, but you can also pick them up from their nursery. Because of demand, most of their larger trees are already sold out, but you can still get the nine-ft Douglas fir and the seven- or eight-ft Noble fir. You can always send them a request online, and they will get back to you regarding stock availability.

Of course, an Ikea tree is never going to be as full-looking as the Rockefeller Center tree, but for a budget option, it’s really not bad. Get an artificial potted tree for as little as $99.90, or fork out $899.90 for a 210-cm version. Venture to any Ikea physical store to make your Christmas tree purchase and pick up stockings, gift bags, wrapping paper, and Christmas ham on your way out the door. You can check any product’s availability on their website if you’d rather know before you make the trip.
